Overview

Accurate timekeeping is very important to RightLink's network stack. We highly recommend the use of Network Time Protocol (NTP) to synchronize time on your servers. Although RightLink will fall back to RightScale NTP servers if system NTP servers are not configured or not reachable, we recommend NTP be configured before installing RightLink for private clouds.

RightLink packages are grouped into major versions, such as rightlink6-cloud-ec2/rightlink6-sandbox/rightlink6 and rightlink5-cloud-ec2/rightlink5-sandbox/rightlink5. It is recommended to use the latest major version. Only the oldest point release for each major version is available at any time off the mirrors. Upgrading between major versions is not supported. RightLink 5 packages are named similarly to RightLink 6 packages, except for google being renamed to gce, and the addition of vsphere.
